Hate to disagree. But he had a good chin and alot of heart as said earlier. As far as chins go Ali had 1 of the best and the Foreman fight proves that. In my honest opinion, Oliver McCall has 1 of the best chins ever. Its just too bad that his talent and drive did not match it.

Frazier had a sturdy chin, but not the best chin.
Toney would have taken Foreman's shots and then asked for more. As would Tyson and Vitali Klitschko.
You don't see great chins bouncing off a canvas multiple times in a fight and unfortunately Frazier had that weakness.
I would say Frazier had one of the biggest heart's in boxing. His style, his attitude, his work ethic, his take 2-3 punches to land 1 mentality are probably unmatched in the history of the sport...maybe Marciano or Basilio come closest to matching it. To walk right through a punch that sent his mouthpiece flying into the 5th row shows he had the ability to weather some pretty hard punches.
The tenacity of Frazier is what is missing from all levels of boxing at the moment...I couldn't name many top teir fighters that embody what Frazier brought to the ring.

Frazier had a heart of a lion but this does not show that he had a great chin.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
